Baylor University is a devout
Baptist stronghold dedicated to preserving moral values. The bar across the street sells 18-ounce goblets of beer for
$2.25. A Waco hot spot since the 1930s, George's doesn't just cater to hot coeds; it also attracts hot townies. "Every walk of life comes to George's," boasts owner Sammy Citrano, whose name is, suspiciously, not George. Come for the chicken fried steak, but stay for the Big O, a dirt-cheap bowl o' beer that got its name in the 60's when God-fearing students too timid to order demon juice by name used the code word
orange. Does Baylor condone such gluttony? "The campus first allowed dancing seven years ago, so they're not gonna openly promote it," jokes Sammy. If you can manage to escape from your beseiged compound, head to 1925 Speight Ave, or call 254-753-1421.
